Furiously Happy appeals to Jenny's core fan base but also transcends it. Jenny’s readings are standing room only, with fans lining up to have Jenny sign their bottles of Xanax or Prozac as often as they are to have her sign their books. And that's what Furiously Happy is all about." "I've often thought that people with severe depression have developed such a well for experiencing extreme emotion that they might be able to experience extreme joy in a way that ‘normal people' also might never understand. In Furiously Happy, a humor memoir tinged with just enough tragedy and pathos to make it worthwhile, Jenny Lawson examines her own experience with severe depression and a host of other conditions, and explains how it has led her to live life to the fullest: Not content with disabusing half of Europe of their belief in a divine creator, the Darwin of this world founded a branch of science devoted to combining the “life threads” (read “what they called DNA before they discovered DNA”) of different animals into fabricated creatures that had all kinds of uses. The alternate universe in which Leviathan takes place seems to have split off from the Steampunk waveform at the time of Charles Darwin. This book takes the world of Steampunk into the next generation, and gives it a twist all its own. So when I saw the cover of this book, I thought I was going to really plunge into the world of Steampunk once and for all. LaFevers are about as close to that type of story as I have wandered, more by chance than by design. Books I have read by Stephen Elboz, Kenneth Oppel, and R. The whole “alternate history of Queen Victoria’s era with armed airships and high-tech high jinks” concept holds an immense appeal for a fantasy and historical fiction buff like me, but somehow I have only grazed the edges of this flourishing field. I surprise myself when I look back on the thousands of books I have reviewed and see so few, if any, that really belong to the Steampunk genre. |
